Central acetabular fracture-dislocation secondary to an epileptic seizure in a chronic renal patient.
An unusual mechanism of injury for a central acetabular fracture-dislocation is reported in a patient with chronic renal insufficiency. The combination of renal osteodystrophy and an epileptic seizure resulted in such an injury as a complication of renal dialysis. Skeletal traction and a prolonged period of non-weight bearing produced a satisfactory result.
